Looking back and looking ahead

Der Kreis is certain: collaboration is the key to success! During the exhibition, they invited all partners who contribute to the success of the purchasing and interest group. Time to get inspired for 2019! This year, Der Kreis made a trip to a new location for this purpose: DeFabrique. The 150 m² red carpet welcomed customers, suppliers, and international guests. You entered Loods 8 via the Smederij and the Copraloods. This is where the laser show started. The program also included a look back. Time for the annual meeting. What are the developments in the industry? Where does the company stand? What is its market position? The sun-drenched day was a nice mix of substantive sessions, strolling past stands, and summer excitement.

Tropical surprise

Not only did the decor of the fair put guests in a summer mood, but with temperatures reaching 29 degrees, the weather also played its part. It was as if it had been ordered! After the afternoon program, guests settled down outside on the catering square. Sunglasses on, sunbeams on your face, and dinner rolled your way. The summer feeling grew in the Copraloods and Smederij, where stands were surrounded by white lanterns, colorful parasols, and imposing palm trees. And you know what they say: it's all in the details. The styling company didn't need to be told twice. At the Lemonade Bar, guests not only poured their own drinks today, but could also choose matching decorations: a parasol here, an ice cube there. It was like getting a preview of the holidays. In any case, the temperature was perfect!

Sultry summer evening

The sun-drenched day ended in style with a dinner for customers, suppliers, and international guests. Did you go for the potato salad with beef tenderloin carpaccio, the coq au vin with roasted vegetables, or did the herring cart call your name? There was just one thing missing on this summer evening: music. The Voice of Holland winner Maan didn't need to be asked twice. She took to the stage and enchanted the guests with her angelic voice and graceful dance moves.
